[QUOTE="zombiekiller, post: 1336992, member: 25186"] you mean my truck? :batman2: I'll say this... I thought it was good on the way out west. I hit Moab, I hit some stuff in western Utah, I hit some stuff in Nevada. Got to SVC and they swapped the coils, adjusted the nitrogen, swapped shackles, put in basic adjustments. ( because it wasn't set up as they'd designed because King screwed the coil-over order up, unbeknownst to TMX or me.) The eyelets were wrong, the springs were wrong, the jounce bumpers were missing and the nitrogen charges were all over the place. Then I went to Baja. I thought it was "just okay" in Baja. THEN, The SVC guys were nice enough to truck themselves all the way out to Johnson Valley the day I was heading east. A couple of hours of them tuning the shocks was world-changing for me. now the truck is pretty damn dialed. I won't mess with one adjustment. I've measured the exposed threads on the adjusters, written everything all down, rechecked pressures, etc. I would have spent YEARS dialing the truck to that point myself. The best way to make it all work as intended is to have a pro tune the shocks. At least that's my opinion. So in summary, if you have the means and time, ask SVC if they will help tune them. I don't know what they'd charge, but whatever it costs, its worth it. And just FYI - we can all make recommendations and what not, but someone that knows what they are feeling and how to fix it with suspension is like a wizard. It seems like the kind of skill that just comes with seat time, experimentation and experience. It is voodoo, but I'm okay with that. Now I can't wait to get back down south. June can't come fast enough. I promise you my big bitch is gonna eat comparatively to where she was. I'm already able to hit things going twice as fast as before the tuning AND it is Lightyears smoother. [/QUOTE]
